Mind Games

"Mind Games" is an Electronic song by Björnsk duo Colours. It represented Björnska in the nineteenth edition of the Maia Song Contest, after being internally selected by Francophone-Celtian broadcaster Øén. It was officially released on 17 June 2018, alongside the official music video on streaming site YouTube.

Critical reception
While the song and accompanying music video received generally positive reviews, the broadcasters BTV-Øén were widely criticised for a perceived lack of interest in the contest. Nikki Grahame, four-time presenter of the Björnsk points, notably complained on a live broadcast "They just don't give a shit anymore. Seriously! I'm just being honest!". An official BTV statement followed this incident, with critical consensus unconvinced.

It was also reported by national media that, behind-the-scenes, the broadcaster was preparing a permanent withdrawal from the contest. Following the entry's non-qualification, the country withdrew from the contest in the subsequent twentieth and twenty-first editions, but eventually returned to the twenty-second edition after a "temporary, but necessary break". Upon returning, head of delegation Adela Nyström urged the press "to remain positive" and "not down-talk our act before they've had a chance".
